very Slight raspberry flavor but mostly tastless.

Weak unpronounced flavors. My batch was skunky.

very little i can say about this beer. It poured a hazy yellow color with no head. Had a small hint of raspberries on the nose. Other then that it was another mild wheat beer. It had little character in both malt aspects and hop aspects.

bottle. pours a pink orange that looks a lot like something i vomited up after a marathon goldschlager night about 11 years ago. whitish head that remains around the edge of my snifter. rough sour grain aroma that is rather chemical like with a tartness that is probably due to the raspberries. taste is a watered down vitamin c and some grainy flavor. leaves an oily tinge on my tongue. tastes like paint remover smells, ok that might be a bit of an overstatement, it tastes like watered down paint remover smells. not a good example of a fruit beer, not a good beer even. acidic on the tongue. this tastes bad and feels bad. i guess that means this is bad. all that being said i am still able to finish this beer.

Strange orangish color, fizzy white head which dissipated quickly without any lacing. Aroma had some raspberry, but mostly smelled like sour soap. Not looking forward to tasting this beer. OK, on to the taste...ach, that was terrible. Can’t even describe it well. Soapy, sour, nasty, etc. Don’t waste your money on this one. Infinitely worse than Keystone Light.

Bottle. Light orange with a small white head. Aroma was candy raspberry and weak wheat. All I can say about the flavor is raspberry flavored Alka-Seltzer. Thin watery carbonated body with a tannic finish. A few sips and the rest went down the drain.

hay, dough, butterscotch, amber, hazy, a minimal head, white foam, medium sweetness, lightly bitter, medium sourness, light body, thin feel, soft carbonation, abrupt finish

I knew better of coures, but couldn’t help myself. Pours a hazy off gold with a dirtyish purple tinge. Seriously - aroma of dishwater and diarrhea. It took some courage to taste but it turns out it wasn’t too scary. Actually, if not for the lightest hint of metal and raspberries, this would be utterly flavorless. Of course, neither the metallic notes nor the weak hint of raspberry were especially pleasant. Fizzy. Down the drain it went.

Tastes like rasberry flavored soda water. Skip it.

My friends love this stuff. They are the college variety meat heads, however. This is horrible beer. It has raspberries in it but I didn’t taste or smell any fruit in it on draft. Tasted like crap on draft, by the way. Not recommended at all. It’s cheap and I think that’s why they drink it. Purpleish brown in color, like someone’s vomit and smells about as bad. Wasn’t sweet at all and seemed almost flat. I thought it was the keg the first time but have had it again and it still tastes the same. Maybe it’s better in the bottle, but I’ll never know...
